“Three prominent Canadian authors launched a $6 million lawsuit Wednesday against Penguin Canada, the publisher of Gold Mountain Blues, for copyright infringement.
Wayson Choy, Paul Yee and Sky Lee are suing Pearson Canada Inc., the parent company of Penguin, along with Toronto author Zhang Ling and U.K.-based translator Nicky Harman for blatant disregard … in deliberately calculating to generate profit and gain at the expense of the authors.
Zhang is also accused of purposely copying multiple elements of their stories.”
